"That was a very hard thing for me. That was a very, very hard thing for
me. I tried everything, but finally I just said to myself, This child
is innocent. He was like this when he was a baby, it can’t be wrong. It
can’t be wrong."

"I had to pray about it. This was one of those moments where I had to go
directly to God and I prayed ... and the answer I got back was love."

"And He said, you know, 'I give you all great gifts and the greatest of
that gift is love.' And so, that's when I knew I could love my son and
support him on who he was and I was okay with it."
